i find it really sad your total ignorance of the facts and inability to
discuss the issue.

as per examples i have given and per examples given by other users (see
for example related bug 8605) - the default way sysconfdir & localstatedir
are created is by means of expanding PREFIX.

how come you claim its the way autoconf is designed to be used?

the way you treat this issue is really shameful.
